I'm looking for a fishing lake within a 2 hour drive from Clarksville, that is not majorly affected by the wind. I fish Kentucky lake and its a pain on windy days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What are you fishing for and what are you in? I used to go to Dyers Creek and get plenty of bass, hybrids and some cats too, Lick Creek isn't too bad either.
I'm in a 16 ft g3. Don't care what kind of fish. Most of the time I don't even keep them. Just enjoy the fight and the quite. Don't fish on the weekends or holidays.
Elk harbor opens March 16 and cross creeks is fun too
Ky lake is not for me. I like small narrow lakes surrounded by hills. Tims and normandy are nice. Woods is great but still fairly open for a small lake. Not sure of the lakes in your area but you may be better served at some of the southern kentucky lakes.
is the cumberland too rough for ya? ive caught the piss out of sauger from the railroad tracks south. havent been in several years though.
Thanks. I'll be trying these lakes on windy days and see how things go.
TWRA lakes ?
There are several in NW TN.

Marrowbone? Think it is TWRA lake
Marrowbone is a TWRA lake. I'm dying to go try it again with some electronics. I've been a half dozen times about 10-12 years ago and never caught any quantity or quality of anything… and seen quite a few people fishing there doing the same
Never fished it but it looks to be close to nashville. Id be afraid that it would be crowded
Browns Creek, Pinoak, Redbud, Dogwood, and Cedar are all about 2 hours from Clarksville. They're smaller. I know Browns Creek and Pinoak are open for public fishing. I'm not sure about the other two - I assume they are.
Carroll County Lake - 1000 Acre - whatever it's called now days is also about 2 hours. I'm talking about the one outside of Huntingdon. Don't confuse it with the smaller "Carroll Lake" outside of McKenzie. I wouldn't waste time going to "Carroll Lake". "Carroll County Lake 1000 Acre" is a better choice.
Gibson County Lake is a hair over 2 hours from Clarksville.
The Cumberland around Ashland City may be an option also. I think there's a ramp at Ashland City.
Someone already mentioned Marrowbone.
There's also Laurel Hill and Halford run by the TWRA. I don't know anything about those two.
Here's a list of TWRA lakes...

Busy on the trout stocking days, otherwise used to be pretty vacant… I think because there's no fish in it lol
Carroll County 1,000 acre lake was renamed Lake Halford a couple years ago.Browns Creek, Pinoak, Redbud, Dogwood, and Cedar are all about 2 hours from Clarksville. They're smaller. I know Browns Creek and Pinoak are open for public fishing. I'm not sure about the other two - I assume they are.

Ah... makes sense. I saw "Halford" on the TWRA map and couldnt think of anything around that area but didnt put 2 and 2 together.
